This paper concerns on developing a synthesis method of paste-glue production for gummed tape using a corn-based starch as an alternative feedstock from laboratory-scale to pilot-scale and to near commercial scale. Basically, two methods of synthesis were developed to produce paste-glue in laboratory scale. Based on the two methods, we then scale-up the earlier laboratory scale data to pilot-sc...

Continuous hydrothermal synthesis of metal oxide nanoand microparticles in supercritical water was performed in a continuous flow reactor. The results of investigation of LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiZnO2, LiCuO2, Ga2O3, CeO2 nanoparticles by HRTEM and XRD analysis were presented.

P arallel process units are often encountered in chemical process systems for different considerations, e.g., parallel reactors from reactor network synthesis, parallel columns for heat integration. One notable example is the feed split configuration of heatintegrated distillation columns. In this work, the control of parallel processes is illustrated with the heat-integrated distillation colum...

H-ZSM-5 nano-zeolites were synthesized by hydrothermal method using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a template in the presence of various TPABr concentrations. The effect of different TPABr/TPAOH molar ratios was studied on the catalytic performance of dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a fixed bed reactor under the same operating conditions (T=300°C, P=1 atm, and WHSV=...

This review article is the second of the comprehensive series on survey of the microwave photochemical and photocatalytic processes, and is focused specially on the microwave-assisted photochemical applications of the electrodeless discharge lamps (EDLs) in organic synthesis. The concept of microwave organic photochemistry is an important issue in synthetic chemistry and material science, and i...

Optimization of the continuous synthesis UiO-66 and derivatives with extremely high space time yield using a tubular reactor.

The nanoparticles of Ti and TiO2 have attracted extensive research interest because of their diverse applications in, for instance, catalysis, energy conversion, pigment and cosmetic manufacturing and biomedical engineering. Through this project, a one-step bulk synthesis method of electromagnetic levitational gas condensation (ELGC) was utilized for the synthesis of monodispersed and crystalli...

In this study, a reformer model simulation to use refinery (Farashband refinery, Iran) waste natural gas. In the petroleum and allied sectors where natural gas is being encountered (in form of associated gas) without prior preparation for its positive use, its combustion (which takes place in flares, an equipment through which they are being disposed) has become a great problem because of its a...

Being reactive and spontaneously combustible, dried Victorian brown coals can not be exported, and have to be used in mine-mouth power stations which also suffer from low efficiency and high CO2 emission. Synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) is an option for the production of liquid fuel, a transportable product for power generation and transportation. This paper presents a steady-state process mo...
